DESCRIPTION

Also known as SERB_HUMAN, PSPH. Catalyzes the last irreversible step in the biosynthesis of L-serine from carbohydrates, the dephosphorylation of O-phospho-L-serine to L-serine (PubMed:12213811, PubMed:15291819, PubMed:9222972, PubMed:14673469, PubMed:25080166). L-serine can then be used in protein synthesis, to produce other amino acids, in nucleotide metabolism or in glutathione synthesis, or can be racemized to D-serine, a neuromodulator (PubMed:14673469). May also act on O-phospho-D-serine (Probable). Homodimer.
